For the second time that day, Ryusei slammed his fist into the wall, but it didn't make his feel any better, so he turned and leaned against it instead, and took deep breaths.
He didn't have the time to blow off his nerves in the usual way. Even if he had the time, he didn't have the space. He punched the air in frustration. He'd gotten Utahoshi's attention off Meteor, after all. But why did he have the feeling that the attention had shifted... onto Meteor, to Ryusei? It had to be just his imagination. Being friends with the Club members was still flustering him in a way that he'd never been before, which was strange if he thought about it, but after the Cancer incident, he didn't want to take their friendship lightly.
... That was all. That had to be the reason. He still wasn't used to 'meaning a lot' to anyone but Jirou.
Jirou.... Focus. He had to focus. Maybe someday he could ask Utahoshi to show him those notes on Meteor. Maybe someday Ryusei would get another chance to look at Meteor's specs on this equipment.
He headed back to Rabbit Hatch, hesitated just a moment when opening the locker door, made a sardonic face directed at himself for his hesitation, and stepped back into the moon base. He paused at the doorway, then forced himself to walk to the control room. He dispensed with the fake smile, maintaining a neutral expression. "What are you working on?"
